Couldn't Resist posting a copy of this photo. Carl, Richard, and Geoff will look back one day, and wish they had that much hair. The DNR crew is getting close to the finish line and VS 2005 is now on MSDN.

Added some functionality to support categories of saved pin locations per registered user, and non logged in users.
On screen hyperlinks to saved locations.
Fixed Admin mode map positioning bug.
Time to take a break from the module, and blog on the lessons learned from building it.

I missed this event. Done in by meetings, bloody meetings.
But a friend said Petzold was spot on.
Here is a link to a more detailed review of whether the new features of Visual Studio 2005 are good for programmers.

The dotnetnuke custom module that shows a Virtual Earth map on this site has been made available as a dnn private assemly. The PA and a PPT discussing how the module was built can be found on the dotnetnuke pages.
Comments are welcome as well as any experienced javascript programmers that can offer some help making the module better.

Code Camp NJ is in the Books. It was the first code camp in New Jersey put on with the help of Scott Watermasysk, Don XML, and the local Microsoft office team.
The energy level was excellent and the sessions were well attended and there was good information being presented.
I agree 100% with what Mark Miller said on recently on a DNR show, that the best way for MS to deal with open source and anti-microsoft sentiment is to make coding with MS tools FUN again.
With the rollout of Visual Studio 2005, tools like Telerik controls, and Code Rush, and the excellent support from the community is certaily make it fun for me.
So keep supporting the code camps in your area!!!
p.s. I will be posting the Sample project and Private Assembly for the DNN project that integrates with Virtual Earth that I presented on. Soon....

Integrating dotnetnuke with virtual earth continues to be an exciting ride. Javascript is another piece of the puzzle to add to the mix.
Today's adventure has been looking to load a bunch of stored information onto the map. The Virtual Earth API is in javascript, so how to get that information from a DNN datastore into a javascipt module to call the VE API ?
RegisterStartupScript to the rescue! This handy function documented in the .net framework allows javascript code blocks to be added to the end of your generated html for an aspx page.
So, we have some server side controls that pulls the data from a DNN DAL, generates the JS dynamically and RegisterStartupScript inserts into the page. The code generated is actually a function that is called on the JS onepageload.

Another late nite gearing up for code camp in New Jersey this weekend.
I was putting together a session on doing custom module development in DotNetNuke, when the idea came to me. Why settle for the passe' HelloWorld Application ?
Julie Lerman did a chalk talk on Virtual Earth at the recent Code Camp IV in Boston. She is doing the tablet thing and getting INK enabled on the map. That was my inspiration!
Well I do not have a tablet, but I have been playing with DNN for a while. So why not try a DotNetNuke custom module that integrates with Virtual Earth ?
Thanks to Dr Neil and the via virtual site, and the excellent articles and the gallery of example sites and I am on my way...
There have been some successes and some pain!
Willl be sharing these in NJ this week and post the info here after.
